Finding the foodie in you.

I dug this up out of the old Flaherty recipes (like from 10 years ago) and had these tonight for dinner. They make a fun, somewhat healthy snack, especially for kids. They take a few minutes to stand there and brown them up, but with just three grocery store snags and when topped with your … More Quick Bit for a Quick Bite

Two more chili recipes, which brings us to six so far. Yes, Rachel refers to Rachel Ray. I tell ya’, I have a real love-hate relationship with her recipes, but this one I like. It’s not a straightforward chili, but I seem to be averaging one straightforward and one “alternative” chili per each chili miniseries … More …Five Chili, Six Chili…

More chili recipes to continue the December series. This first one is not one that appeals to everyone (right from the title and the list of ingredients), but it is really good, satisfying, and–obviously–healthful. If you are adventurous and looking for hearty, healthy, one-pot meals, then this is a recipe for you. The second recipe … More …Three Chili, Four…

Plenty of info and savory recipes about and for quinoa, the “new rice.” I saw a friend post today on Facebook that he purchased quinoa (pronounced keen’-wah) and was looking for recipes. One thing I love for this blog is to actually have a prompt, an invitation, a need. I already have a list a … More Quinoa Overboard

A gourmet meal for company that results in three nights of half-made, super simple dinners. Let’s just say it’s getting chilly out and the holidays are fast approaching and you feel like making a special, satisfying meal for your family. Let’s just say I have the answer for you: a dinner that takes time and … More Four Dinners for the Price of One

Why Are YOU Here?

Perhaps you have been told by your doctor (or your mom) that you need to eat healthier. Perhaps that nagging feeling has caught up with you on its own. No matter how you got here, I am hoping to help.

I have been a devoted foodie for as long as I can remember, with special interest in family and nutrition (as well as ethnic food). I know what it is like to want to eat better, but to have time and money restrictions, not to mention synthesizing different palates around the dinner table. I began marriage with little knowledge about how to cook and a newly-declared vegetarianism. Since then, our diet has been an adventure with the background of our small kitchen. We are no longer vegetarians, we are no longer DINKs, but we still have a small kitchen and a small budget and every intention of eating well and eating to our health!

This is where the rubber meets the road. Feel free to come here as we slowly unravel the mysteries of cooking with tips, recipes, and discussions of the finer points, all in a very accessible way. The goal is to get you in and out of the kitchen and back to all the other things that populate your day. That's what food is about, anyway: getting energy and vitality, and communing with others.

To your health and your enjoyment!
